As an editor, you can see, restore, and rename previous versions of your styleguide pages with Page versioning. Page versioning shows who edited a page, when, how much the page size changed, and the ability to view, restore, and name a previously saved version. Your viewers cannot restore a previous version.

FAQs

When viewing a previous version, will all content block types reflect that version?

Predominantly yes. Content that’s populated via another source (e.g., Figma, Storybook, and GitHub) will reflect what’s in the source file (tokens, markdown, uploads). This is regardless of the version you’re viewing. We’ll make it clear when viewing an older version which content types are versioned and which aren’t.

When I restore an older version, will every content block type be restored?

Yes, with a few exceptions. This is similar to the question above. If a content type isn’t versioned (but instead pulling through from an external file), then the most recent state of that source file will appear on the page you’ve restored.

What happens if a team member is deleted from the account?

It will say instead Edited X minutes ago by deleted user.

After releasing a styleguide, is that released version fixed, or can it be edited further?

A released version of your styleguide is fixed. It cannot be edited once it's released.

How is a new version created?

A new version is created:

1) when a different user edits the page

2) when the same user updates the page from a new session (e.g. by revisiting or reloading the page)

3) when 2 minutes have elapsed since the last edit

4) when it has been 10 minutes in total since the version was first created

5) when you reload the current page to force a new version to begin
